1 OUTDOOR HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUM VARIETY SURVEY BRIAN WHIPKER In the fall of 988, a survey of chrysanthe mum varieties and the cultural practices in use by commercial greenhouses was conducted by Pur due University. The survey was sent to 05 commercial greenhouse operations in Indiana with thirty-five firms responding. The results of the survey are listed below. Growers may find the information presented to be interesting as a comparison to their current production practices and varieties grown. Spring 989 Page 2 pests. The responses are summarized in Table 2. IV, Specific Insect Pests Growers were also asked if any of their insect problems were cultivar specific. The over whelming answer was no, but a few growers did report a few incidents (Table 3). V. Fungicide Usage Information was also collected on the use of fungicides, either as a drench or a foliar applica tion. The results are reported in Table 4. I, Growing Medium VI. Top s Grown Of the respondents, the majority were using a soilless mix (7%). The brand names used by growers included: Sunshine mix (7%), Pro- Mix (%), Metro-Mix (%), and Speedel and Baccto mixes ( each). Twenty-five percent of the growers included soil in their growing medium. The most popular type was a mixture of /3 each: soil, peat and perlite. II, Fertilization Program The number of producers using specific types of fertilizers are listed in Table. The most common fertilization program followed by grow ers utilized a water soluble fertilizer similar to Peters (82%). The application rate used was between 200 ppm to 300 ppm, applied on a one to three day schedule. Some producers also noted that they curtailed their fertilization program in early to mid-august to deter exces sive foliage growth. A slow release fertilizer (Osmocote or Mag Amp) was used by 34% of the growers as an additional part of their fertilization program. common rate was.5 teaspoons per 8" pot, ap plied as a single dose. insect Pests The insect pests varied greatly between firms and the controls they used during 988, with aphids and whiteflies being the most common Northwestern Indiana Regional Extension Specialist for Commercial Floriculture and Vegetable Crops. A Growers were asked to list the three top per forming cultivars that they grew in 988, re gardless of color. Debonair, Grenadine and Minngopher topped the list, with over a third of the growers rating them in the top three. The results are listed in Table 5. VII. The Most Widely Grown s Of the wide assortment of cultivars available from the two primary sources of cuttings, all the cultivars were grown, if not by more than a single greenhouse operation. Therefore, a complete listing will not be reported on the number of firms growing each of the cultivars. Instead, Table 6 contains only those cultivars that were grown by at least 0% of the respondents. VIII. Comments About Specific s In addition to stating which cultivars were grown, each grower had the opportunity to com ment on any growth characteristic of each culti var, either good or bad. The responses varied from grower to grower, possibly dis to differ ences in growing conditions. An example of how opinions varied is Allure. A few growers cited it as a poor performing cultivar, while another grower thought it was a "good" plant. In the end, the comments are of value as to which problems you should be on the look out for. The comments are listed in Table 7.
